Beautiful specimen looks like new after so many years and sounds great. It is also a push pull with tetrodes with the EL34 as drivers. Mercury rectifiers to the sound of music give it a lot of showiness. If you have another one, you will have a fabulous stereo. Thanks for sharing.

Would love to see an in-depth look at this, close ups, under chassis views, circuit diagram, specifications etc.

Such a beautiful vintages amp.
Its in my dream.

incrivel q esse equipamento requer alimentação trifásica.
tem inclusive no manual o jeito certo de fechar os enrolamentos do trafo primário da fonte.
e as valvulas piscando em azul são as retificadoras.

Good choice of music. Love the mercury arc rectifiers. Provides a nice contrast to the warm yellow glow of the tubes. What's the audio source? How are you powering this? Got 3 phase in your house?

Lots of mercury rectifiers it would seem, very cool

Proper Mad Scientist! Seriously though, it looks and sounds fantastic. Are the tubes glowing blue mercury vapour? Also, how many watts does it draw to power such a beast? Thank you for sharing :)

How's the bass on something like this and what do you need to do to connect modern speakers to it?

Big PA amplifier...Typically an amp like this would power the annunciation system in a large ship or a huge stadium. The mercury vapor and xenon arc rectifiers are flashing at the line rate and this interacts with the frame rate of the video camera to produce the flashing we

the flickering tubes must be caused by the camera. They would flicker with the music at VERY high outputs

My amp just became very boring now after seeing this.
